Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach
well put.
You are getting what's going on here totally wrong. Your post above suggests you think there's a strong pro-Sherwood lobby out there willing to trot out any excuse to defend him. You are totally wrong about that.
Rather, what you are seeing is a strong anti-hysterical mob lobby. Because as the last couple of pages have shown, a hysterical mob is what we have now. Pitchforks and torches.
Tim Sherwood meant pretty much zero to me before a couple of months ago. He was a guy who won the league with Blackburn in the 90's, and is now coaching at Spurs in some capacity or other. Literally knew nothing else about the guy and couldn't have cared less about him one way or the other. If I'd never heard his name again I wouldn't even have noticed. For that matter, if I don't hear his name again after Monday night I probably wouldn't notice that either.
I suspect 90%+ of Spurs fans are much the same. And yet you seem to think that from that has sprung this virulent pro-Sherwood grouping? True believers in the cult of Timbo willing to say anything to defend him?
Well, you are totally wrong about that.
People are actually responding to stuff like this bollox complaint about him not taking notes in the stand at Anfield. Sorry, we could be coached by Crusty the Clown or Bill Shankly and that complaint would be full depart in either instance. Full, 100% depart. Or, these complaints about our high line against Liverpool when, in fact, we didn't play a high line against fukking Liverpool! Again, I don't care who's the coach or what the tactics are, if people insist on talking such total bollox some of us will call them out on it. The fact it happens to be Sherwood is pretty much beside the point.
well put.
